Product Information

I love all the knowledge and creativity oozing out of the classrooms, jam rooms, and competition rooms at Qualatex events. I love being with people who understand my balloon talk and who are as passionate about the art of balloons as I am. I've found my tribe!

Get comfortable with the odd balloon popping as you practise. But do practise a few before you get your kit out at a children’s party as the more you model, the less you pop. Make your next twist (D) 9inches again (to create a section the same length as the past two you twisted. Make sure you leave space at the end that’s uninflated – you need this as as you twist, the air will be pushed to the tip. By leaving a tail of about 3inches, you’ll stop the balloon popping as you work.Take twisting to the next level with perfectly pliable and remarkably durable 260Q Chrome® balloons

You may need to adjust the balloon instructions if you’re using different size balloons but the basic technique will be the same. It should just take you one or two goes to work out the best spacing of your twists for the balloons you’re working with.Helium balloons can vary by material, shape, occasion and size. The most common materials are foil and latex, with shapes coming in varieties like letters and numbers.

This can vary depending on the quality of the balloons and type. Foil balloons can stay inflated for as long as 3 -5 days, whereas smaller latex balloons can last for up to 12 hours. The remaining part of your balloon should now have a short section un-inflated at the end (this will be your swan’s beak).
